Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD)
After trauma, it’s common to feel on edge, unsafe, or “stuck” in the past—even when the event is over. PTSD can affect sleep, mood, relationships, and daily functioning. Therapy can help you feel safer in your body, reduce triggers, and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.
Signs PTSD May Be Affecting You
You might notice:
Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
Feeling constantly on guard, jumpy, or easily startled
Avoiding reminders of what happened (places, people, conversations)
Strong emotional reactions to triggers
Feeling numb, detached, or disconnected from others
Irritability, anger, or feeling “wired”
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Feeling unsafe even when you’re not in danger
Shame, guilt, or self-blame related to the trauma
Relationship strain or difficulty trusting others
